Investigating the Applications and Importance of Artificial Intelligence in Orthodontic Treatment Planning: A Systematic Review.

In the current scenario, the evolution of orthodontics and dental based applications have been raised with a strong impact of Artificial Intelligence. The main objective of the proposed systematic review is to study the various applications and importance of AI in orthodontic treatment planning. Electronic databases like Scopus, PubMed, Google Scholar, Embase, Cochrane, Medline, and Web of Science have been thoroughly searched. Included were studies that employed AI to plan orthodontic treatments. Data were retrieved and examined to determine the clinical significance of applying AI to orthodontic treatment planning. This PRISMA model-based systematic review includes a total of 73 papers. The investigations demonstrated that artificial intelligence (AI) may be applied in orthodontics for evaluation and importance of ML and AI in Orthodontic Treatment Planning, AI-based software can provide accurate and efficient analysis of cephalometric images, reducing the time and effort required for manual analysis. AI-Enabled cephalometric landmark detection for orthodontic analysis and treatment planning, investigating the application of artificial intelligence on the dentofacial orthopedics and the specialty of orthodontics, application of automated orthodontic extraction indication detection using AI, investigating the application of artificial intelligence on maxillofacial radiology and specialty of oral diagnostics, investigating the importance of artificial intelligence in therapeutic dentistry, AI-powered prediction of postorthognathic surgery facial aesthetics, investigating the major application of artificial intelligence on the forensic odontology, investigating the major application of artificial intelligence on the maxillofacial surgery and specialty in oral. The systematic evaluation shows that AI provides promising potential for enhancing orthodontic treatment planning. The use of AI can result in more precise diagnosis, treatment planning, and individualized orthodontic care, all of which can improve clinical outcomes and satisfaction among patients. AI-based software for cephalometric analysis: Cephalometric analysis is a crucial step in orthodontic treatment planning. Predictive modeling: AI can predict the outcomes of orthodontic treatment by analyzing patient data and simulating treatment scenarios. This can help orthodontists in decision-making and inform patients about the expected outcomes of treatment. Patient monitoring: AI tools can monitor patient progress during treatment, enabling orthodontists to make real-time adjustments to the treatment plan. This can improve treatment outcomes and reduce the need for frequent in-person visits. Improved patient experience: AI-based tools can improve the patient experience by reducing treatment time, minimizing discomfort, and providing personalized treatment plans. Overall, AI has the potential to revolutionize the field of orthodontics by improving diagnosis, treatment planning, and patient monitoring. However, more research is needed to fully explore the potential of AI in orthodontic treatment planning and ensure its safe and effective implementation in clinical practice. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
